So, that “nasty” sourdough starter…
Produces some pretty great bread…
I threw my “nasty” sourdough starter mentioned in my previous entry into the fridge for a week… I pulled it out intending to throw it away and got sidetracked. The next morning it was bubbly and smelled AWESOME (not like moldy gym sock like it did when I first attempted to use it) so I fed it… and WOW! That thing popped back to life! Overflowed the jar all over my counter too LOL
So I decided to give a sourdough loaf another try. I used this recipe but with whole wheat starter and flour as detailed here. Other than my bread being a little flat (it was too wet and spread too much) the loaves came out PERFECTLY!
Just the right amount of sour, the kids love it – and I’m glad I doubled the recipe and made two loaves!
You made the second loaf for me, right? LOL can’t wait to try one myself thank you for being an inspiration in my life once again Dawn! <3
Sourdough is just great isn’t it?. After various failed attempts at getting a decent starter going over the years I have finally started making my own rye sourdough and it is fantastic. Great blog, always good to discover another “real” foodie.
